Mumbai LED TV Fraud: Former E-Commerce Delivery Boy Accused Of Replacing 25 New TVs Worth ₹12.37 Lakh With Old Sets

Mumbai's Sakinaka police registered a case of cheating and criminal breach of trust against a former parcel delivery boy named Aliyas Moda, 24, who allegedly replaced new LED TVs with old ones before delivering them to customers. Moda, who previously worked as a delivery boy for an e-commerce company based in Andheri (East), replaced at least 25 new LED TVs, valued at a total of Rs 12.37 lakh, with old sets while the parcels were on their way to customers.

Several customers noticed damaged packages and TVs that did not match their orders, leading to complaints to the warehouse officials in Chandivli. The company conducted an internal inquiry and sought CCTV footage between May 25 and July 10, resulting in the registration of an FIR based on a complaint from the warehouse officials.

Moda was dismissed after the irregularities were discovered, and a fellow employee, Aryan Pal, informed the police about Moda's alleged scheme. Pal reportedly received bribes from Moda to keep quiet, with Moda promising between Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000, and ultimately paying Pal Rs 5,000. The police are currently investigating the matter and have not yet made an arrest.
